WCBS 880's Rich Lamb reports

Separately, Mayor de Blasio said Thursday Guerra’s death was a tragedy, but there’s no evidence to support an allegation that slow communication between police and fire department first responders, WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported.

“That was not, in my opinion and based on everything I’ve heard, that was not the problem. The problem was there was not a sufficient protocaol for these situations.”

De Blasio added that Police Commissioner William Bratton has ordered new rules regarding how police officers should respond to fires.
